00:00:09,780 --> 00:00:18,150
Hey, friends. It's Sam Vander Wielen, and I'm the host of the On Your Terms
podcast and the founder and CEO of Sam Vander Wielen LLC.

2
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:28,470
I hope online coaches and service providers legally protect and grow their
online businesses using my DIY legal templates and my signature program, the
Ultimate Bundle.

3
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:39,330
I'm an attorney-turned entrepreneur who's driven to make the usually stuffy,
boring, and intimidating world of legally protecting your online business easy,
cozy

4
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,770
, and less stressful.

5
00:00:41,790 --> 00:00:45,330
Yes, I said cozy, I swear, hang with me, you will see.

6
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:54,450
I'm not only passionate about helping you learn how to legally protect your
business, I'm just as passionate about helping you to build a business on your
terms.

7
00:00:55,350 --> 00:01:05,260
To me, that doesn't mean how many figures you're pulling down each month or how
many followers you have on Instagram, but how much time, flexibility and
contentment you've got to.

8
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:15,630
On the podcast, I'll chat with you each week about how to legally protect your
business with the right contracts, website policies, strategies, and scope of
practice tips, as well as how

9
00:01:15,630 --> 00:01:24,750
to build a legit evergreen business that helps support the life that you
actually want to live, not the one that's being thrown and sold at you on
Instagram, a

10
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:33,240
ll while throwing in a sprinkle of my signature, no-BS, 
what's-really-going-on-behind-the-scenes business-building advice.

11
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:40,350
I'll interview entrepreneurs building businesses on their terms to show you so
many diverse examples of what kind of business you can build.

12
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:50,610
I'll also bring in top experts on the show to help you learn about things like
Facebook ads, branding, email marketing, building out your programs, health care
for solo

13
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:54,720
entrepreneurs, money and investment strategies, and so much more.

14
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:04,080
After practicing law for five miserable years as a corporate attorney, I left
the law in 2016 to start my own health coaching business.

15
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:14,250
Even though health coaching wasn't really the right fit for me, it helped me to
bridge the gap between being an out-of-touch lawyer with what you really need to
know to legally protect your online business and

16
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:17,940
what it really takes to start an online business in the first place.

17
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:27,990
In 2017, I shut down that health coaching business and opened up the doors to 
Sam Vander Wielen LLC, the business that you see today, and started helping
people create legally

18
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:29,030
legit businesses.

19
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:38,670
There is definitely no turning back now because over the past five years I've
built a seven-figure business with thousands and thousands of happy customers
all over the world.

20
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:47,700
But what's most important to me is that I've built a life around the values
that mean the most to me - time, flexibility, and freedom.

21
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:58,980
Whether it's the brain surgery I had shortly after I started my business or my
dad's terminal leukemia diagnosis recently, I've truly experienced how much
building your own business can

22
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:05,730
afford incredible freedom, opportunity, and most surprisingly, a chance to heal
your inner wounds.

23
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:09,450
I want all of my listeners to know these three things.

24
00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:16,230
One. Yes, you have to legally protect your business, and it doesn't have to be
as complicated or boring as you think.

25
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:22,230
Two, there are a million ways to build your own business, show up online and
work with your clients.

26
00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:24,630
You don't have to do what she's doing on Instagram.

27
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:27,810
You truly can build a business on your terms.

28
00:03:28,410 --> 00:03:31,030
And three, the legal glow-up is real.

29
00:03:31,050 --> 00:03:36,330
Wait until you see how much of a sigh of relief you'll have when it comes to
legally protecting your business.

30
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,270
This really can be the key to moving forward and doing the dang thing.

31
00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:42,000
I've seen it so many times.

32
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,840
